Dear Sirs:
(Headwater and Isolated
V,1ATF_R 0tjALI i Y 5!-
Please reference the site visit of March 30, 1993, conducted by Mr. John
Thomas of my staff at the site for the proposed Lowe's development located off
Hanes Mall Boulevard adjacent an unnamed tributary to Little Creek,
Winston-Salem, 13 County,
North Carolina. Also in attendance at the
meeting was Mr. Craig Turner of Land Management Group, Inc. (consultant for
site). The purpose of this meeting was to review wetland delineations
conducted by Mr. Turner for the aforementioned site, and to inspect the site
for waters and wetlands subject to Department of the Army permitting
authority.
The meeting revealed that the proposed site is located adjacent, and above
the headwaters of, an unnamed tributary to Little Creek. The review of the
proposed development plans indicates that construction of the facility will
involve adverse modification to 0.58 acre of wetlands on the aforementioned
tributary.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. The discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. The permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.

Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided you receive a Section 401
water quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM). You should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919)
733-1786, regarding water quality certification. This NWP does not relieve
you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone (919)
876-8441.
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

Re: Lowe's Facility m
Dear Mr. Farrell:
Our office met with h
NC DEHNR Forsyth Co
Lowe's project locate(
HWY 158). Also in
Lindsay McCrady of Lou
Group, Inc.
Spencer of the
s the proposed
ord Road (NC
nklin and Mr.
id Management
Of particular concern was the need to provide some means for
maintaining existing area water quality while improving the water
quality of the resultant runoff from the project site.
Furthermore, incorporating said means into the confines of -the
project boundary was discussed.
In particular, several methods were noted that if used
concurrently may provide the desired result. These methods
include the following:
1. Use of oversized piping and restrictive outlets for the
parking lot drainage to minimize the effect of the additional
runoff to the basin and to help maintain non-erosive velocities
downstream, promote infiltration and enhance nutrient removal of
the resultant runoff.
2. Use of innovative parking lot catch basin design
incorporating a means for enhancing sediment entrapment and oil
and grease capture to prevent said pollutants from leaving the
project site. Also, provide some form of maintenance agreement
to insure that the basins are routinely inspected and cleaned as
required.
3. Use of a small-scale sediment basin, if possible, on the site
prior to final discharge. This method was to be evaluated and
implemented if onsite grades and available land use permitted.
Page Two
Mr. Ron Farrell
July 19, 1993
4. Use of mitigation with in-kind wetlands to be set aside in
some ratio of those to be filled. Various ratios were discussed
with a starting point being two (2) to one (1). Said set aside
should be within the same watershed as that to be filled and as
close to the project site as possible.
Mitigation plans, developed by Land Management Group, Inc., will
be submitted for review. Said plans will describe a specific
parcel and the necessary procedures to transform the upland areas
into wetlands. Wetland species revegetation and a yearly
monitoring program will be utilized in creating these wetlands.
We trust that your office concurs with the findings developed
during the onsite meeting. Based on the meeting, plan revisions
are currently being made to implement all possible methods
discussed. In addition, land evaluations are currently underway
to acquire a suitable tract for mitigation. Should there be any
questions concerning what was discussed or the outcome, please do
not hesitate to contact our office.
We appreciate all the representatives taking the time to meet
onsite to discuss the project and hope that the project can be
constructed to the mutual satisfaction of all parties.
Sincerely,

include all waters designated by "Tr" in the water classification.
(53) Waste disposal includes the use of waters for disposal of sewage, industrial waste or other waste
after approved treatment.
(54) Water dependent structures are those structures for which the use requires access or proximity to
or siting within surface waters to fulfill its basic purpose, such as boat ramps, boat houses, docks
and bulkheads. Ancillary - facilities such as restaurants, outlets for boat supplies, parking lots and
commercial boat storage areas are not water dependent structures.
(55) Water quality based effluent limits and best management practices are limitations or best
management practices developed by the Division for the purpose of protecting water quality
standards and best usage of surface waters consistent with the requirements of General Statute
143-214.1 and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended.
(56) Waters with quality higher than the standards means all waters for which the determination of waste
load allocations (pursuant to Rule .0206 of this Section) indicates that water quality is sufficiently
greater than that defined by the standards such that significant pollutant loading capacity still exists
in those waters.
(57) Watershed means the entire land area contributing surface drainage to a specific point. For the
purposes of the water supply protection rules (I 5A NCAC 2B .0211) local governments may use
major landmarks such as highways or property lines to delineate the outer boundary of the drainage
area if these landmarks are immediately adjacent to the ridgeline.

0203 PROTECTION OF WATERS DOWNSTREAM OF RECEIVING WATERS
Water quality based effluent limitations or management practices for direct or indirect discharges of waste
or for other sources of water pollution will be developed by the Division such that the water quality standards
and best usage of receiving waters and all downstream waters will not be impaired.

.0204 LOCATION OF SAMPLING SITES AND MIXING ZONES
(a) Location of Sampling Sites. In conducting tests or making analytical determinations of classified waters
to determine conformity or nonconformity with the established standards, samples shall be collected outside
the limits of prescribed mixing zones. However, where appropriate, samples shall be collected within the
mixing zone in order to ensure compliance with in-zone water quality requirements as outlined in Paragraph
(b) of this Rule.
(b) Mixing Zones. A mixing zone may be established in the area of a discharge in order to provide
reasonable opportunity for the mixture of the wastewater with the receiving waters. Water quality standards
will not apply within regions defined as mixing zones, except that such zones will be subject to the conditions
established in accordance with this Rule. The limits of such mixing zones will be defined by the division on
a case-by-case basis after consideration of the magnitude and character of the waste discharge and the size and
character of the receiving waters. Mixing zones will be determined such that discharges will not:
(1) result in acute toxicity to aquatic life [as defined by Rule .0202(1) of this Section] or prevent free
passage of aquatic organisms around the mixing zone;
(2) result in offensive conditions;
(3) produce undesirable aquatic life or result in a dominance of nuisance species outside of the assigned
mixing zone;
(4) endanger the public health or welfare.
In addition, a mixing zone will not be assigned for point source discharges of fecal coliform organisms in
waters classified "WS-II," "WS-II1," "B," "SB," or "SA." For the discharge of heated wastewater,
compliance with federal rules and regulations pursuant to Section 316(a) of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, as amended, shall constitute compliance with Subparagraph (b) of this Rule.

re: 401 Certification and PDN Request to Disturb 0.58 Acres of
Isolated wetlands for Lowes Companies, Inc. Forsyth County, NC
Dear Mr. Dorney,
I have enclosed seven (7) copies of a 401/PDN request for the
placement of fill and/or disturbance of approximately 0.58 acres of
wetlands. This upland site is mapped Colfax, a poorly drained soil
in the Forsyth County Soil Survey. The 14.64 acre tract is located
on the southeast corner of the intersection of Hanes Mall Blvd and
S. Stratford Road in Forsyth County. These wetlands occur at the
head of a upland drainageway and already have an existing sewer
line through the center of the wetlands. The purpose of the
filling is to build a commercial facility on the site. Thank you
for your assistance and should you have further questions, please
advise.
esp ctfully,

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Dorney
THROUGH: Steve Mauney
FROM: Ron Linville
Subject: Home Depot
'J
This morning, I talked with John Thomas concerning the Home Depot project next
to 1-40 in Winston-Salem. He has been able to determine that about 0.2 acres of stream
will be involved in this project. Neither of us believe that this will not cause
degradation to water quality; however, the acreage allows this project to progress
without any preservation of existing conditions based on current guidelines.
Comparing this stream segment to the stream segment (also to be piped and
covered by Lowe's across the road) is like comparing apples to oranges. It appears the
Home Depot stream (with less total acreage) may have provided many more biological
and water quality functions, was a higher order stream, and provided greater pollutant
removal qualities and potential as it was broader and more shallow (streambed to bank
edge heights) than the Lowe's site which contained 0.68 acres of stream and some minor
quality wetlands. Home Depot is also located next to 1-40 (a major truck thoroughfare)
and Sam's which will contribute to the potential for spill events to be funnelled quickly
downstream. Comparatively, the Lowe's site is surrounded by residential and farmland
at the present time.
It would seem that the Home Depot site should not be held specifically to the 0.3
acre guidance required for the 401 certification. There is a real possibility that there
will be degradation or loss of existing uses especially since this creek will be relocated
and hidden in a pipe for about 1300' - 1500'.
Despite the guidance of the 0.3 acre impact prior to 401 certification review,
Lowe's may not believe that they have been dealt with fairly if they discover that Home
Depot does not have similar requirements or responsibilities towards onsite or
downstream water quality concerns or impacts.
If it is impossible to modify the plans at this site, this situation should be used as
an example for review of our 0.3 acre policy especially in the piedmont and the
mountains. A coastal plain stream of 0.3 acre covers a lot less linear footage than 0.3
acre west and north of the coastal areas. In the piedmont and in the mountains, such
losses will be more significant. This is especially true due to greater topographical and
significant population concerns.

FROM: Ron Linville
Subject: Ideas for Stream Rechannelization/Relocation Guidelines
(Response to Task Force Memo of 930629)
The disruption of natural streams should be mitigated by recreating
as much as possible the conditions found in the old stream bed when
the manmade stream is constructed. As it is doubtful that such a
recreation can be fully successful, there should be a mitigation plan
or banking established for approximately an acre of protected
wetlands, scenic rivers, bogs or streams for every stream acre
diverted and recreated. We would not simply "write-off" any waters
or functions with this type of program (for examplel: 1 orl :0.5 plus
recreation). DEM personnel could conceivably recommend particular
sites of concern where mitigation planning or banking might be
beneficial to the public and to the environment.
Additionally, it would be advantageous to pre-approve some basic
engineering design criteria for these projects which would protect
aquatic life during construction and after construction, especially
where potentially important habitat and migration concerns may be
significant Oe. trout, etc.).
It may be very much worthwhile to have a planningmeeting of the
regional Wetlands/401 personnel in Raleigh in order that this matter
can be brainstormed. Obviously such a meeting would need some
preliminary discussions on overviews or concerns and present
policies and/or procedures. Some selected projects could then be
considered for review and comments.

RE: The Home Depot - Winston Salem, North Carolina
GFA Project No. 92521.02
Dear Mr. Dorney:
ARCHITECTURE • PLANNING
OCT 2 01993
As we discussed on the telephone this afternoon, Home Depot is in the process of constructing a
store on Hanes Mall Boulevard in Winston Salem, NC. As part of the site work, a creek section of
creek will be piped.
John Thomas of the Army Corps of Engineers will be on the site Monday, October 18 to verify
whether or not the affected creek bed is less than 1/3 acre. Since we are on a very tight
construction time frame, because of a limited "window" to relocate a 30" water transmission line,
we are proceeding with construction and relocation of the creek in the area of the water line
relocation with the following understanding:
If the area of the creek bed, as determined by the Corps, is less than 1/3
acre, then no permits or approvals are required from your department.
2. If the filled area of the creek bed is greater than 1/3 acre, then we will design
and construct a wet detention pond to N.C. State specs which comply with
the 401 Water Certification requirements. The plan and application will be
submitted as soon as practical after the Corps determines the affected area
is greater than 1 /3 acre.
We appreciate your help in this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
GREENBERG FARROW ARCHITECTURE, INCORPORATED

Comparing this stream segment to the stream segment (also to be piped and
covered by Lowe's across the road) is like comparing apples to oranges. It appears the
Home Depot stream (with less total acreage) may have provided many more biological
and water quality functions, was a higher order stream, and provided greater pollutant
removal qualities and potential as It was broader and more shallow (streambed to bank
edge heights) than the Lowe's site which contained 0.68 acres of stream a some minor
quality wetlands. Home Depot is also located next to 1-40 (a major truck thoroughfare)
and Sams which will contribute to the potential for spill events to be funnelled quickly
downstream. Comparatively, the Lowe's site is surrounded by residential and farmland
at the present time.
IL would seem that the Home Depot site should not be held specifically to the U,3
acre guidance required for the 401 certification. There is a real possibility that there
will be dearadatio orJoss of existing uses especially since this creek will be relocated
and hidden in a pipe for about 1300' -- 1500'.
Despite the guidance of the 0.3 acre impact prior to 401 certification review,
Lowe's may not believe that they have been dealt with fairly if they discover that Home
Depot does not have similar requirements or responsibilities towards onsite or
downstream water quality concerns or impacts.
If it is impossible to modify the plans at this site, this situation should be used as
an example for review of our 0.3 acre policy especially in the piedmont and the
mountains. A coastal plain stream of 0.3 acre covers a lot less linear footage than 0.3
acre west and north of the coastal areas. In the piedmont and in the mountains, such
losses will be more significant. This is especially true due to greater topographical and
significant population concerns

THROUGH: Steve Mauney
FROM: Ron Linvillc
Subject: Ideas for Stream Rechannelization/Relocation Guidelines
(Response to Task Force Memo of 930629)
The disruption of natural streams should be mitigated by re reatin
as much as possible the conditions found in the old stream bed when
the manmade stream is constructed. As it is doubtful that such a
recreation can be fully successful, there should be a mitigation plan
or banking established for approyimately an acre of protected
wetlands, scenic rivers, bogs or streams for every stream acre
diverted and recreated. We would not siml2ly "write-off" any waters
or_functi_o_ns with this type of program (for example]: 1 or1-0.5 plus
recreation). DEM personnel could conceivably recommend particular
sites of concern where mitigation planning or banking might be
beneficial to the public and to the environment.
Additionally, it would be advantageous to pre-approve some basic
encLlneerin design criteria for these projects which would protect
aquatic life during construction and after construction, especially
where potentially important habitat and mi rag?tioo concerns may be
significant Oe. trout, etc)
it may be very much worthwhile to have a planning meeting of the
regional Wetlands/40, personnel in Raleigh in order that this matter
can be brainstormed. Obviously such a meeting would need some
preliminary discussions on overviews or concerns and present
policies and/or procedures Some selected projects could then be.
considered for review and comments.
